Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 2 half steps down [ -2 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 2 to stay in the same key

UKULELE CHORDS

VERSE 1:
      Dbm
Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember
          A           Gbm
There was snow, white snow
  Dbm
Clearly I remember from the windows
                            A
They were watching while we froze
        Gbm
Down below

Chorus:
          A
When the future's architectured
     B                     Dbm
By a carnival of idiots on show
                 B
You'd better lie low
       A    Abm E         Dbm  B  Dbm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?

VERSE 2:
      Dbm
Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals
      A          Gbm
And a fox became God
 Dbm
Priests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles
         A             Gbm
And the cross was held aloft

Chorus:
A
Bury me an armour
         B
When I’m dead and hit the ground
              Dbm            B
My nerves are poles that unfroze
       A    Abm E         Dbm  B  Dbm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?

GUITAR Solo: Dbm Dbm A Gbm  x2

Chorus:
        A
I don’t want to be a soldier
       B
Who the captain of some sinking ship
     Dbm
Would stow
    B
Far below
           A    Abm E         Dbm  B  Dbm
So, if you love me, why’d you let me go?

Outro:
          E    A       E  Dbm  B    A
I took my love down to Violet Hill
B        Dbm     Abm       A
There we sat    in the    snow
A   B    Dbm   Gbm      E  Dbm  B
All that time she was silent still
    Abm     A    Abm E         Dbm   B    A
Said if you love me, won’t you let  me   know?
Abm       A   Abm E         Dbm  B  Dbm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?

Biography

Coldplay is a British alternative rock band formed in London in 1996. The band’s singer/pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion, met at University College London and came together from 1996 to 1998. During these two years, the band changed names from Pectoralz to Starfish and, finally, to Coldplay. Creative director and former manager Phil Harvey is often referred to as the fifth member by the band.
